My education always emphasized the importance of good spelling. A proper background in this skills, helps to improve your presentations, your resume when you are looking for a job, improve the first impression you make in any interaction requiring written skills. I have worked in several different types of industries from hotels, restaurants, travel, mortgage companies, transportation, banks, theater, real estate and other primarily service businesses. Most of my interests lie in the financial and accounting parts of these businesses because of the importance of not only being able to present an accurate picture of the company's condition at only one time, but also to make sure that there were no mistakes, thefts being covered up, or other discrepancies. Very large companies have had loans go bad due to the improper accounting of transactions by the business owners. My teaching style

Each individual is different. Therefore, you have to know the person first in order to apply a teaching style. Age, gender, and subject matter are some elements that influence how a person learns. Some people learn visually, some people learn by practicing, some people don't want to learn. My style varies according to the individual and what he or she likes or dislikes. As a tutor my role can be from formal authority, demonstrator, facilitator and delegator. Key elements in the classroom: 1) facilitate interaction and 2) delivery of the content to student. The key is to listen to the student, listen to the feedback with a clear understanding of the goals that need to be accomplished for each class. Results orientated individual that uses leadership to drive change without compromising quality. Consistency achieving goals through the understanding of learning process that involve people

I have tutored through the organization Literacy Volunteers in Flagstaff and Lake Havasu. Additionally, I tutored English in a refugee camp in Zambia, when I was with the Peace Corps. While living in Bangladesh, I tutored adults and children in English, as well as other subjects. I taught for three years in Bangladesh at International Turkish Hope School. My teaching style is to make sure that those I am helping understand what is being talked about. If they do not, we will keep working at it until clear. Since all teaching ways do not work for all students, I try to figure out what would work best for those I am currently tutoring, so that they will succeed.

I love teaching and working with all children. I believe that children learn in different ways. I will use their learning style in order for them to achieve academic success . I am very patient,easy going and considerate. My goal for each student that I tutor is to provide the best education possible. I believe children are little explorers of their world and learn through hands on meaningful experiences. I believe every child can learn and will learn if in the correct learning environment.. I believe that if you make learnering fun they will not even know they are learning and will achieve great things. I stive to make a difference in every child in all my students' lives and show them they can do anything they may set off to do. I knew when I was a high school senior that I wanted to be a teacher. I then after high school went to the local junior college and took classes to prepare me

I earned a teaching degree in Secondary Education in the social studies subject area, after studying at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon. I have worked for ten years in education, with students as young as infants up to high school seniors, and all in between. For the past six years I have worked with ELL (english as a second language) students on the Navajo reservation and on the Mexican border at Nogales, Arizona. I have worked to bring up the reading level of these students in my social studies classes. I have great knowledge in my subject area, social studies, and the skills and patience it takes to tutor students in all levels of english reading and writing. I believe it is my duty as a teacher and responsibility as a human being to inspire all students to keep trying, access their potential, and envision themselves as successful on their own terms.

I feel as an educator it is always important to learn from the students before you can teach them. The most necessary factor to success is being able to recognize just how the student learns and be able to take your teaching methods and adjust accordingly. Having had many good professors, teachers and tutors personally, I feel that this approach makes a world of a difference. I do try to mix things up in terms of teaching methods, once the subject seems to be sinking in, just to try to get students used to teachers or tutors who may not operate in this manner. I have currently earned a bachelors degree, BS Physics, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and science. While doing research I was able to learn more in the areas of biology and math, while also taking biology classes at a community college in San Diego. In addition, I have learned extensive grammat

While studying Physics at Iowa State University, I first discovered my love for teaching and tutoring and have been doing it almost continuously since then. I worked for the ISU Academic Success Center helping groups of 1-4 students learn calculus and calculus-based physics for 3 semesters. They always left my sessions understanding the subject better and gave me the highest reviews possible. Later, after briefly attending grad school, I went to Mexico and taught for a year. In my time there, I worked at both a private language school and as a 9th grade teacher at a private school. During this time, I learned a great deal about the English language as well as how to run a small class. Since returning to the US, I have also tutored my cousins in Spanish and ACT preparation. I now feel very comfortable tutoring for math and science as well as English, Spanish, and test preparation.

I do not believe in hierarchy. I think the teacher-student or tutor-student relationship should be one of equal footing and mutual discovery. This means asking questions together and seeking out the fundamental answers to questions. I think all children and adults deserve a place to learn about themselves and the world around them where they are free to ask any question and challenge any assumption. This does not mean I am a push over and cannot create structure in a lesson. I just strive to do it in a way that does not discourage creativity and authentic discovery about themselves and the world. I attended college at three different schools, on athletic scholarship in two of them. I earned two bachelor degrees, BA in Philosophy and BA in Political Science. After graduating I spent one semester teaching sciences at an outdoor based alternative middle and elementary school just outsid

I have always felt very comfortable working with children. I previously worked as an after school teacher at a private middle school and ended up having a great relationship with all the kids. I am easy going and patient and feel myself to be someone that can bring the most out of people. I am a recent graduate of the University of Arizona with a BA in English and a minor in History. I am passionate about writing and creativity in general. Many years of taking upper level English classes have given me much confidence in my paper writing and editing ability. In addition to all of this, I love to write creatively (especially poetry) in my free time.

I have been teaching and tutoring people of various ages and backgrounds since high school. I began tutoring as a senior, assisting freshmen who were preparing to take the AIMS test. While in college, I was a service learning intern at Mountain View High School. This internship required me to teach reading circles for students with low reading and writing skills. After graduating from college, I worked as a museum educator at the Arizona Capitol Museum in Phoenix. My position required me to have a thorough knowledge of history and politics and to communicate the information to children ranging in age from five to eighteen. I have an equally strong background working with individuals and large groups. Thanks to my experiences as an educator, I have the patience and skill to teach effectively regardless of subject matter or difficulty level. As a tutor, I believe it is crucial to get stud
